Passion Haiku

[holysee]

Dips little toe into cool water of haiku poetry. Unsure of result




Spring life suspended
in air. Barbed crown piercing.
Deathly pain arises.

Catholic Scot: Passion Haiku

 

[fleamailman]

("...nice poem, you have much talent indeed..." mused the goblin always interested in anyone who wrote poetry now, adding "...is there another then...")

 

[holysee]

Perhaps, God willing.

Cycle of Haiku on the Passion of our Lord

The Agony in the Garden

Night sweats blood. Lamb waits
Spring sacrifice. Sleep under
stars nears awaking.

The Scourging at the Pillar

Behold as blood flows
The Man in full throes of Passion
Kingdom of earth's growth.


The Crowning with Thorns

Hails King with taunting.
Crowns King with scalp tearing barbs
New seeds bursting through.


The Way of the Cross

Burdened beneath tree.
Sinks below scorn. New growth
Struggles against gravity

The Crucifixion

View from a hill. Death
with dishonour. Winterlike
dark descends. Awhile.

Very good! Sounds like something I'd write... not sure I could do so well though.

Very good.

Very good.

Very kind and encouraging of you to say so. Many thanks.

 

[briareos]

You deserve it! Any time.

From my CatholicScot blog

Baptism in the River Jordan

River flow brings life.
White dove glistens in sunlight
confirming promise


Manifestation at Cana


Still water ferments
Through love transforming into
pure flowing red wine

Proclamation of the Kingdom of God

Mountaintop outline
Rising-suns rays shining. Song
of life sweetly trilling


The Transfiguration

Suddenly He changed
glorious transformation. Inner
light seen. Winter ends.

Institution of the Eucharist

Vines fruit ripening
to transcendent purpose. Grain
reaped. Friends eat.
